Roof replacement and repair
With a roof the question is rarely just the tiles: it is the underlay, the insulation and the state of the timber beneath. Describe what you see, and roofers come and look before quoting.
Request quotesWhen do you call a professional?
Have the roof checked after a leak, when tiles have shifted in a storm, or once the roof reaches forty years. A roof renovation is also the natural moment to insulate.
What to check in the quote
Ask whether scaffolding is included and what happens if the timber under the tiles turns out to be rotten. That is the classic extra, and it only becomes visible once work starts.
